Title: Improvements in Locking Devices for Railway Carrige Doors and the like.
Inventor: MACKAY LAURENCE HUGH
IPC: E05B65/42
Filed: 1910-04-02
Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 8025. Mackay, L. H. April 2. Railway - carriage doors, fastening automatically.-Relates to means for preventing the unlocking of railway-carriage doors while the train is in motion. A door latch handle 3, Fig. 4, carries on its spindle 4 a link 9, which is connected by a link 10 to a rod 12 carried in bearings 13 on the edge of the door. To the end of the rod 12 is pivoted a rod 15, working in bearings 16 which allow a small movement at right-angles to the carriage door in opposition to a spring 17. Immediately above the end of the rod 15 is a frame 19 sliding in guides 20 on the carriage and having bearings 21, in which is mounted a T-shaped rod 18. The lower end of the rod 18 carries a rectangular or other shaped plate 22 which is capable of passing through a similarly-shaped hole in a plate 24, fixed to the guide 20, when the rod is parallel to the side of the carriage, in which position it is normally maintained by spring-controlled pins 25 in bearings 26 on the frame 19 pressing on flats. The rod 18 is bored to receive an outwardly spring- pressed rod 27, immediately above the end of which is a boss 29 on a spindle 7, which is suitably geared to the carriage axle. In attempting to open the door while the train is in motion, the rotation of the handle raises the rod 15 and frame 19 till the end of the rod 27 touches the boss 29, the rotation of which swings it aside, and with it the rod 18, thus preventing the plate 22 from passing through the hole in the plate 24 and arresting the further raising of the frame 19 necessary for the full rotation of the handle to unlatch the door. When the boss 29 is at rest, the rod 27 is pressed down into the rod 18, which remains parallel to the side of the carriage, and can therefore be raised sufficiently to allow the door to be unlatched. In case of emergency, the rod 15 may be displaced, in opposition to the spring 17, out of the path of the frame 19 by a rod 33, Fig. 4, operable from inside the carriage, and connected with the alarm apparatus or protected by a glass screen. The device may be used to control the bolt 5 of a lift latch, as shown in Fig. 4, in which case the rod 12 is extended at 30 and bent at right-angles to rest on top of the bolt. In this case, a spring striking-plate 6 is provided to allow the door to be closed while the train is in motion.

Title: Improvements in Weighing Machines.
Inventor: HEYBACH FREDERICK JOHN
IPC: G01G13/00
Filed: 1910-05-11
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 11,688. Heybach, F. J. May 11. Automatic - f e e d weigher.-Relates to an automatic-feed weigher of the type wherein the feed gate is closed automatically through the operation of a mutilated wheel which is allowed by the settling of the weigh-beam to engage a continuously rotating friction wheel, and the invention consists essentially in closing the feed valve by means of a reciprocating bar which is separate from the feed-valve attachments. The weigh-hopper 7 is supported on a beam 1 and is situated below a pair of sliding feed gates 22, shown in Fig. 1 in the dribble position. The cut-off is produced by the movement of the lefthand gate only which is actuated by the longitudinallv-movable bar 26 and an arm 23. Near the rear end of the weigh - beam is pivoted a trigger 36, one arm 39 of which rests on the weigh-beam and the other arm supports a pawl 35 fixed relatively to, but free to rotate with, a weighted disk 29. The disk 29 is flattened at one side 30 and is situated adjacent to a continuously-rotating wheel 28, so that when the requisite weight has entered the weigh-hopper the trigger 36 is tripped and releases the pawl 35, thus allowing the disk 29 to rotate slightly into frictional engagement with the rotating wheel 28. The disk 29 then makes one revolution, during which a projection 41 on the disk engages and draws back the bar 26, thus shutting - off the feed. On the completion of the rotation, the pawl 35 and disk are again retained by the trigger 36 in readiness for another operation. After the cut-off, the movement of the bar 26 withdraws a detent 58 from the path of a projection 60 on a second flattened and weighted disk 52 and the disk rotates into frictional engagement with a second rotating wheel 56. A projection 53 on the disk 52 then first pushes back a bar 19, thus opening the discharge gate 8, and afterwards rocks a lever 50, thus causing a finger 45 to restore the bar 26 to the position shown. The bar 19 is re-set by means of a cam 66.
